Arizona Diamondbacks: (+165)

San Francisco Giants: (-180)

 

• Brandon Crawford will continue his push to make his third National League All-Star team when the San Francisco Giants host the Arizona Diamondbacks to continue their four-game series on Tuesday night. Crawford hit his 15th home run and drove in three runs to increase his RBI total to 44 in the Giants’ 5-2 win in the series opener on Monday, a defeat that extended Arizona’s overall losing streak to 11 games and road skid to 20.

• Neither manager announced a starting pitcher for Tuesday, but right-hander Zack Littell (0-0, 1.47) is expected to get the ball for the Giants as an opener. He likely will be followed by 25-year-old left-hander Sammy Long, who threw four innings of one-hit relief at Texas last Wednesday in his big-league debut.

• The Diamondbacks have one of their top prospects, 23-year-old right-hander Corbin Martin, available after he was promoted from Triple-A Reno for this series. Martin has seven games of major league experience under his belt, including throwing four innings in a start against the Giants in May. He was bombed for six runs on five hits and three walks in four innings in that game, after which he was demoted to the minors.
